Be own s patent squeezer is acknowledged to be very effective. It consists of a series of massive rollers, so arranged that the heated bloom of puddled iron, being placed on the top of the machine, is taken in between the two upper rollers, and is gradually compressed between these and others as it descends. At the bottom, it falls upon an endless revolving chain ladder, by which it is elevated and thrown on to a platform in front of the rolls for drawing it out into bars. 

It is necessary to revert here to the coke tin plates, which name, as already Bteted,-was originally applied to them in consequence of the kind of fuel used in the second refining operation. At present it means those produced from puddled iron rolled into bars similar to those described in tbe preceding, and called tinplate bars or tin bars. In all the subsequent processes tho. same modus op randi is followed, whether the tin bars be made from the puddled or from the hollow fire Iron—charcoal tin bars therefore the following description of the process to which the bars are subjected, previous to, and up to tliefr conversion into tin plates, applies equally to both kinds. 

Mr. J. P. Snow, Chief Engineer of the Boston and Maine Railroad, has called attention to a very significant case of corrosion in connection with the destruction of some railroad signal bridges erected in 1894, and removed and scrapped in 1902. These structures were built at the time that steel was fast displacing puddled iron as bridge material.

Hie manufacturing operations succeed each other in the following ordor —1. The calcination of the ores, by which the carbonaceous and volatile matters am burned off, and the whole reduced in bulk to prepare them for the smelting furnace 2. The extraction or reduction of the metal in Hie form of cast-iron by smelting 3. The conversion of the cast-iron into malleable or wrought iron by puddling end rolling and 4. The reconversion of the comparatively puro malleable iron into that particular carbide which is known as steel. 

Puddling A process for making wrought iron from pig iron, based on the partial decarburization of pig iron in a special furnace. Invented by H. Cort in Titchfield, Southampton, England, in 1784 and widely used in the United Kingdom and Europe until the end of the 19th century. In 1873, there were 8,000 puddling furnaces in the UK alone.
